I thought there already has been one judge-ordered pre-trial mediation.
That was what Mr. Wardell was complaining about, that the Dogar and Kazon pair has published the settlement offers [1], despite Stardock thinking there was a confidentiality requirement. (Which the judge apparently did not order beforehand, only after the publication and Stardock requesting one.)

We seem to have some people well-versed in the law here. Lior said in his last video that P&F had a slightly stronger case. I dunno what do you guys think? Assuming they can fund the trial no problem, what do you see as the realistic outcome?

I was never a particular fan of Stardock, so I now have no problem boycotting any future work.

To be honest I was never excited about SCO to begin with, as I only care about what happens after the Sa-Matra according to P&F. Still, I could conceivably have been convinced to buy SCO, but definitely not anymore.

If Stardock wins, this will completely eliminate the possibility of ever getting a true sequel. I will be absolutely livid.

Kinda off topic of steam/gog/etc but EVERYONE wants both s*ardock and F&P to continue making games, right? (Saw that on reddit somewhere. its already been said is my guess)

A lot of people think this way, yes. Although personally, the longer this drags on, the more I start to hate everybody involved.

Likely Stardock counternotified and indemnified Valve/Steam from any damages...
Or Steam had a look at it, and decided the game is not infringing, and that the sales are worth the risk that Origins might be found infringing by a jury.

By 'great' do you mean 'not great at all' or am I missing an implication?

Yeah sorry that didn't read well. But indeed it would be a "great" outcome for them since they did actually steal their ideas and content for Origins. What I was implying was "they would be lucky to even get this...".
